Ground-Penetrating Radar
3 reportsGround-Penetrating Radar is an archaeological method used to locate, date, document, sample, or interpret material evidence. The method is judged through field recording, context control, and chronological method, especially where design choices change uncertainty or causal interpretation.
New findings about Ground-Penetrating Radar are placed alongside calibration or reference data, together with spatial or chronological resolution and validation with excavation evidence. For validation with excavation evidence, the primary record comes from blind or comparative tests, with integration with excavation records providing a separate test; the account does not overlook that disturbance, contamination, and incomplete context can narrow what the method establishes.
